What are Herbal Body Oils?

Herbal Body Oils are my dedicated method of herbal inspiration and medicine making. Growing up in Colorado, the dry climate required constant application of lotion, balms, oils etc. My dad, who works with his hands would always come home with cracked and bleeding skin on his thumbs and fingers. I, however am a lazy person and refused to use lotions everyday... the task was too boring to apply after every shower, and hand washing. Thus, I have chronically dry skin... oops. Moving to Kansas and entering a new climate changed my skin, the humidity allowed me to suck in some moisture but I still had my bad habit of refusing lotion application. 

Enter herbalism...

As a home herbalist you are taught how to create and make infused herbal oils. We use these in salves, foods and other applications. Using when taking herbs for external uses you use a salve on the specific area that is needing extra TLC, or a poultice and so many other useful applications. 

Enter the moment where I combined my dedicated meditation practice and my herbalism teachings... AKA self care!

Using herbal body oils and combining them with my meditative practice and nighttime bedtime routine changed my idea of what self care is. It started when I started to work and volunteer my time at Sacred Earth Arts in KC. I used my St. John's Wort Oil at night or after I came home from the farm, I massaged my legs with the hydrating plant carrier oil, but also the infusion of the St. John's Wort herb radically helps to heal my bruises, pain and spasms. It only takes a small amount to cover the entirety of my legs, and as I work the oil in I use this as a time for reflection and gratitude. 

Herbal Body Oils act together with your physical body and with your spirit. Each herb has its own gift and guidance but the amount of relaxation, healing and gratitude is phenomenal. You are not only providing yourself with the energetics and constituents of the medicinal herbal plants but also a time to unwind and intentionally self care for your wellbeing; mental, physical, spiritual and emotional.

Each of my herbal body oils has a dedicated purpose that I believe helped me and my friends & family, but there is no limit to what they can do to help you. Each product has its uses and ingredients that will help you to narrow down what you're looking for right now. There is also a sampler pack that is perfect for trying them out to see what works for you and your body.
